Ed and Duo's Greatest Adventure

Chapter 12

By Devon Masterson

Ed sat down on the cement beside Faye's lounge chair by the pool. "Did you have fun last night, Ed?" Faye asked yawning a bit. She and Quatre had had a long night.

"Lots of fun, Ed can't wait until the next time, being with boyfriend person is always fun."

"Having a steady man is more interesting than I thought it would be," Faye admitted. She smiled as started thinking of the exploits that she and Quatre had been involved in, in and out of bed.

"Faye-Faye?" Ed asked as she poked the older woman's cheek curiously.

"Stop it," she replied pulling away then looked at Ed. "You know we never had the talk. I know it's a little late, but it's important."

Ed smiled. "Ed already had the talk with Spike person and Jet person when Ed was thirteen."

"Oh really?" she asked narrowing her eyes. "They didn't try anything did they? They can't be quite perverted especially Spike."

Ed flushed and shook her head. "Ed asked Spike and Jet person because there was no one else and Ed needed quick answers."

"You needed quick answers…?" Faye repeated almost as if asking a question when understanding came to her. Ed must have started going through her first change into womanhood. "So Trowa is your first?" Ed nodded with a smile and Faye leaned in. She never would have thought she would ever ask Ed what she about to ask. She always thought Ed would be goofy and single the rest of her life, but she was still curious. "Does Trowa do it for you?"

"Do what?" Ed asked lowering her voice like Faye.

"You know," Faye replied. Ed shook her head and Faye sucked in her cheeks in annoyance. She always hated it when she had to spell everything out; it was a good thing she wasn't the shy type. It came in handy in times like this. "Does Trowa satisfy you? You know make you come, climax, whatever you want to call it?"

Faye expected Ed to flush furiously like she normally did with personal matters, but she only smiled. "It's wonderful," she answered simply. It was one of those answers that told everything and at the same time nothing. It left a lot to the imagination that was all Faye needed.

"We'll talk more later," Faye commented pleased with herself. She felt personally responsible for Ed being as close to normal as possible. She was glad the girl was finally picking up on some of the things she had been trying to tell her over the years. She fingered one of Ed's crimson locks with sisterly affection. "Your hair would look much better with a good brushing and some products. You should talk to Duo and find out what he uses. He's the only guy I've ever known with hair as nice as mine."

"Ooh," Ed commented thoughtfully. Talking to Duo would be an idea. She had a formal banquet to attend while she was in Brazil, they all did. She wanted to look perfect for Trowa so he could show her off. He still felt a little weird when they went out, but he was a lot better about it, plus it would be fun. She had never been to a formal. "Ed needs Faye-Faye's help to find a dress," she replied as she pulled Faye to her feet and pulled her across the lawn."

"Next time just ask," Faye said as they entered the house. "I would have came with you."

"Ed needs lots of help."

"I agree," Faye replied as they started up the stairs. "I'll see what I can do, but I can't promise anything."

Ed let go of Faye's hand and started to jump up and down then pounce Faye. "Thank you, Faye-Faye."

"You're welcome," Faye replied as she pushed Ed off of her. "You need to lay off the candy bars."

Ed flushed slightly then smiled before nodding. "Let's go!"

"Wow," Ed sighed as she and the others stepped off the plane. She dropped her carry on and spun around, basking in the sunlight of Rio de Janeiro.

"If you're this excited about the airport then I can't wait to see what you're like when you see the campus," Duo commented.

"Ed can't wait," she grinned. She hugged Trowa's arm affectionately.

"Well this will be a nice vacation from the usual classes," Wufei snorted. His mood was lifting as he looked around his surroundings. The forced vacation Ed and Quatre sent on might turn out well after all.

"I believe in making do of my situation as well," Heero replied as they started walking towards the baggage claim area of the airport. The rest of their group was supposed to be waiting there for them since they were the last ones to arrive.

"That must be for us," Duo observed seeing a sign that said Sentara University Exchange Program being held up by young man looking around anxiously. The others nodded and they walked over to him to calm his nerves.

"Are you the exchange students?" he asked in English with a thick accent.

Ed nodded. "We are from Sentara University. Pleased to meet you, I am Edward Wong Hau Pelu Tivrusky the fourth," she replied in Portuguese. The others looked around somewhat confused.

The young man smiled at the long name. She was definitely an odd girl, but then that is what made foreign girls so exciting. "You speak excellent, Portuguese," he replied in his native tongue. "Are you a native speaker or did you learn?"

"Ed learned at school," she replied as she became more comfortable with the language. "Ed is from Singapore."

"I've never met anyone from there. You speak a little strangely, but I can understand you…"

"Ed speaks this way all the time even in English," she smiled.

"Perhaps I can tutor you while you're here. I am excellent when it comes to communication," he replied.

"I don't think her boyfriend will be appreciate that," Duo commented in Portuguese making the young man blush.

"Ah forgive me, I was just being polite," he replied in English. "I just thought she could be use more help with her Portuguese, but she already knows it so well. I did not mean to sound like I am…how do you say hitting on your girlfriend."

"She's not…" Duo sentence trailed.

"She's my girlfriend," Trowa corrected pulling Ed closer to him and wrapping his arm around her waist in a manner that cleared any doubt that she was taken.

"Then it is to you that I must apologize," he said offering his hand. Trowa simply looked at him making him withdraw his offer nervously. "I am Marco Polo and I will be your student guide for the next three weeks."

Duo snickered and Ed nudged Duo and gave him a look that said that was not nice. He coughed. "I'm Duo Maxwell. This is Heero Yuy, Wufei Chang, and you've met Trowa."

"Nice to meet all of you," Marco greeted. "The luggage from your flight should be coming any minute then we'll be able to leave. We will get to Sao Paulo University in plenty of time for you to get settled before the banquet."

Within ten minutes they all had their luggage and started for the exit of the airport. Various degrees of excitement were displayed on their faces as they followed their guide, however only Duo and Ed actually talked. "What's wrong?" Trowa asked in her ear when he saw her movements hesitate.

Ed scratched her head then smiled. "Ed's fine," she replied. She swore she saw a few wisps of banana blond hair going around the corner in the opposite direction, but that was impossible and even it was, so what. She was there to have fun with the guys and Trowa and there was nothing that eyebrow girl could do to ruin her happiness.

Duo stood in front of the mirror in his closet and surveyed himself. "Looking good as always," he thought as he smiled. Black was always his color so naturally he would look good in a tuxedo and this one fitted his personality so well. With its low collar similar, to the priest collar he once wore, it gave him a stylish modern look while keeping its formality and leaving him to not have to worry about a tie. He and Wufei were the only ones that did not have to worry about tying ties, which they both mutually hated. Wufei was going to wear a Chinese style tuxedo that looked pretty much like the stuff he usually wore, but more upscale. He always did stay simple.

Trowa and Heero on the other hand, rarely went simple. Heero always did have his own since of style where he could wear the shoe string tie or a bandana around the neck without harming his masculinity. His tuxedo actually looked more like his St. Gabriel's uniform with its vest, and tie. The main difference seemed to lie in the color and the length of the jacket, but it worked for him. Trowa totally surprised everyone with his choice in tuxedos, he too deviated from the usual tux and went more traditional, one with coat tails. He had the completely ensemble minus the cane and top hat. He thought that they were a bit over the top and settled on the white gloves instead.

"We've have got to be the weirdest people in the world," he thought as he saw his roommate's reflection in the mirror. "Of course that's why I hang out with them." Duo walked over to the door and opened it. He saw Heero at his laptop checking his mail; most likely from the sexy brunette he had seen him with a few times. He never was able to get close enough to see her face the few times he did see them together. He bugged Heero about it and all he told him was that it was none of his business, but he did find out her name was Victoria. "Writing Victoria?" he asked coming up behind him.

Heero hit `send' then closed his laptop. "Hmm."

"Maxwell must you be so nosey?" Wufei asked from the other side of the room as he inspected a painting on the wall.

"Chang, must you be so judgmental," Duo replied imitating Wufei.

Wufei raised and eyebrow. "Yes."

Duo smiled. "Same here. I have to go with what works."

"Impossible," Wufei muttered.

Trowa walked out of the room he and Duo shared. "Ed says she needs more time to get ready. You guys go ahead, I'm going to wait for her."

The others stood and nodded as they all left their suite. "Later," Duo called out as they parted ways. He knew it would probably be much later, but he would keep it to himself for now. Ed's threat was still hanging over his head.

Trowa got onto the elevator and went up two floors. A group of excited students all dressed up got on to elevator that he vacated and the last of noise went with them. The hallway was silent as he walked towards Ed's room. He was still upset that she would not be rooming with him, but he had at least hoped that she would be closer to him instead of on the other side of the building and up two floors. His only consolation was that she had a room all to herself. He could visit uninterrupted all night without having to be but so considerate.

He stopped in front of Ed's door and was about to knock when she opened the door. Trowa's jaw dropped slightly as his eyes washed over her and he lost control of his stoicism. "Boyfriend person," she smiled. She pulled him into the room, now he could appraise her efforts. "Very handsome." She walked around him then kissed him lightly. "How does Ed look?" she spun around giving him a full view.

"Beautiful…" he answered still staring at her. She was wearing a black dress with a wrap around collar and a split in the front. The back of the dress exposed her smooth mocha skin which she complimented the space with a long gold chain, with a smiley face charm, that extended from the collar of dress to where the dress began again. To match the gold chain she wore an upper arm bangle, that rested just below her shoulder, with the same smiley face charm. The dressed worked on many levels. "You hair it looks…"

Ed grinned she was pleased that he noticed. She had spent the longest on her hair. Duo's hair techniques really did it work, but it required a lot of brushing and styling gel. Once all of that was done, it was easy to pull her hair into the elegant knot she was wearing. Laying her hair across her shoulder allowed her true length to be seen and to show off the interesting accessories that Faye helped her to find.

"I…" Trowa's sentence trailed. He was actually at a lost for words, that was something he never experienced before. There was only one thing to do…follow the advice Heero once gave him, follow your emotions. He touched her face tenderly then kissed her deeply. "You look beautiful, baby," he whispered finally finding whole sentences.

Ed wrapped arms around his neck. "Thank you, boyfriend person." She kissed him again and found more intensity in it this time. "Boyfriend person," she sighed realizing his need.

"I won't mess up your hair," Trowa answered, "but we will be late."

AN: Okay. Okay. I won't do this again to you the next time. I'm sure they have other things going on beside sex, but I thought this was realistic.
